Overview[edit]
In 3012 Hanse Davion was serving as his brother, First Prince Ian Davion's right hand in the dispirited Capellan March. Personally leading a campaign against the interior world of Wright, Hanse's forces crushed the CCAF resistance. An Avalon Hussars lance consisting of several of the few remaining Victor BattleMechs encountered two reconnaissance lances of Locusts and Wasps and utterly destroyed them in a matter of minutes. It was this campaign which demonstrated Hanse's skills on the battlefield, and his political acumen off of it, which earned him the nickname "The Fox".[1][2][3][4][5]
Notes[edit]
Wolf's Dragoons had their home base on Wright at this time, but it is unknown if they participated in this battle.
